That's good news!

Are you referring to this patch set mentioned in a discussion
from 2017 thru 2020?
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20200826161222.GA1665100@dtor-ws/

I put aside GPIO descriptor conversion for input devices (keys, buttons)
in board files anticipating a swnode mechanism.

Yours,
